Dagsrapport

Dagsrapport, literally “day report” in Swedish and Norwegian, is a document or entry that summarizes the activities, progress, and notable events of a single day. The term is used in Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish-language contexts to describe daily reporting within workplaces or organizations. Dagsrapport is part of a broader practice of daily reporting intended to improve situational awareness, accountability, and planning.

A dagsrapport typically includes: date and author, a brief summary of objectives for the day, tasks completed and work performed, progress toward ongoing tasks or projects, any incidents, issues, or risks, metrics or time spent, and the plan or priorities for the next day. It may also include attachments or references to relevant files, and signatures or approvals.

Common uses: in project management and construction to track daily progress and safety; in operations and logistics to monitor throughput and resource use; in healthcare or elder-care settings to record patient status, care given, and changes in condition; and in administrative or government settings as a routine reporting mechanism.

Formats vary from simple notes in a logbook to standardized digital templates integrated with project management tools. Best practices emphasize clarity, conciseness, and timely submission, with consistent terminology and a predictable structure to facilitate review and data aggregation.
